China brands are focusing china market, that's why we don't see many out of china. give you a example, the world largest home air conditioner maker is a chinese company probably you never heard, 90% of their products are selled in china with their own brand.

agree, add one more comment, China is very different from Japan, China have a huge internal market, there are many famous chinese company make good products but only sell in China, coz low profit in oversea market.

I can give my first hand opinion about the quality concept in China. We sell ACDC HV offline LED driver, which is fabbed in Taiwan, no HV fab in China has enough reliability yet. There are numerous parts competing in the market from China but their reliability is not up to the western standard. The quality concept is basically none, that is why so little Chinese brands outside of China.
Who is responsible for the Taiwanese Foxconn factories in China, Apple is testing the reliability. China can't by herself to have that quality and most of the IC parts are imported from abroad..
The quality concept is a government policy execution and we can all the food and drug poisoning, we know it isn't there yet.
Japan went through the same fate as the low quality country before the seventies but the government started a quality plan in 1965 to eradicate the bad reputation within ten years and it worked. Japan has their own brands with quality but China has none.

Definitely not true.. The joke is Arnold Schwarzenegger went to Shanghai to visit, everyone there knew him but no one paid a dime for his movies... Chinese government has half eyes open for the pirate DVDs and even drugs..

The same professors can get an American citizen or green card holder for free, no hit on their own grants, with so many STEM fellowships going begging.
If anything, we should be concerned about reverse brain drain (as the Silicon Valley Business Council has been banging the drum, the last couple of years). I know a few returnees who are now in Director-level positions across the Pacific, versus enduring a decade for a green card in the same entry level job (and these days, praying that the job continues).
